More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as a mixture with plasticizers
Mixtures of halogenated compounds with non-classifiable additives may fall under phosphoric esters heading.
If for formulated flame retardant preparations
Commercial mixtures or preparations of chemical additives are classified in Chapter 38 rather than pure compounds.
If primarily ether function dominates
Compounds with prominent ether characteristics may be classified by oxygen function before phosphorus.
